About

Provided by Carey

Carey has extensive experience advising small, medium and large mining companies, both Chilean and foreign, that exploit all kinds of metallic minerals (copper, molybdenum, silver, gold and others) and non-metallic minerals (nitrates and others) on all the stages of a project and its implementation, from the beginning of its activities, its full operation, until the end of its cycle with the mine closure.

In addition, the firm has broad experience in the negotiation of mining contracts of all types, including complex agreements related to the financing of mining projects, with a practical and business-oriented approach. The team also has considerable experience in the most diverse litigation related to mining.
